Be more specific. Do you mean Progressive downloading or
completely downloading before playing? Streaming is great
for serving lots of people at one time. Progressive DL is good
for putting video on your own HTML site (not paying for a streaming
server). Regular DL is for transferring files and doing the crossword
puzzle while you wait for the download.

As a M100 user from v1.0, I read all the switch to FCP posts for a couple of years before switching. I miss
a couple of M100 things, but the change-over was very painless (log and capture was the biggest cahnge for me).
I wish Boris well with M100, they’re a great company, but the boat sailed a long time ago.

Did anyone crop or process the stills in Photoshop first? There’s a setting for non-square that’s
been a part of PS for the last few versions. Maybe it’s too late for this time, but that’s where to start
next time. I never bring raw photos right into FCP. I always start with cropping, levels, etc. in PS.

Go into Compressor and in the Settings (Presets) select the Apple/Advanced Format Conversions/8-bit Uncompressed(either PAL OR NTSC).
Select the Duplicate Selected Setting (one of the 3 buttons at the top left-it’s the right one). You can now edit the setting. Double click the setting
to open the Inspector. Right under Description at the top of Inspector are 6 buttons, select Frame Controls. Select Custom as the Frame Controls
(default is Off). Select Best for Resize Filter, Progressive as Output Fields, and Best as Deinterlace. Also select Best as Rate Conversion at bottom (not sure if that’s necessary, but what the hell). One of those 6 buttons at the top of the Inspector is Filters, and one option there is De-interlace,
DON’T use that one, it’s crap, and you’ve already selected all the de-interlacing you need.
HTH,

Because it’s 60hz 120v? Sorry, couldn’t resist. I don’t know why.
Ed[Alan Lacey] “Does anyone know why MacDrive6 is only available in the US?
All the sites I’ve visited say “only shipped within the US”
In in UK and the only reference I can find to it over here is a – no longer available add on Amazon.co.uk for MacDrive2000″

Gotta disagree with Bogie. Don’t use FCP’s de-interlacer, it sucks. Use one of the ones mentioned or use Compressor 2.
Not the de-interlacer (which also sucks), but the ouput settings of Advanced Format Conversion.

Use this product:

You format the drive for Mac and this product, MacDrive,
installs on a PC and recognizes the Mac formatted drive.
There are other products, but this is the most common I think.

Did you try a search before asking? I’d say no. There are a number of links (if you search you’ll see them)
Here’s one:

Yeah, do a search of this and the Compression forum. There are hundreds of posts about it.

Have you done a search of the posts here? I’m guessing no. There are a bunch of posts about this problem, Apple even has
a white paper about it on their site. Try this (I simply searched “Unable to connect to background process”):
